I'm in the process of becomming a Debian maintainer. Unfortunately this
process isn't finished since two weeks (may be it is delayed because of
the efforts in the upcomming hamm release). I would like to maintain
wordnet than. But may be I would need your help because it is my first
serious package (I don't consider xteddy to be serious but only for the
sake of learning maintaining a package).

I will have this in mind. Would you think that /usr/lib/dict is an
appropriate directory for the Wordnet database (the filenames didn't
conflict!).
It is the first time that I have a deeper look at wordnet (this means
I used it about one year but never looked at it in detail). So if
you have some experiences at if you expect serious trouble for a
beginner (not in C programming but in dictionary software) please
let me know. In this case we should talk about the "better" maintainer.
Kind regards
Andreas.
